Once again we’re talking spiritual things. Not only are we secure in Christ, but John says if we have Christ, we have life. But didn’t we already? Weren’t we breathing and walking around and holding down jobs? Certainly, but that isn’t the life God has given us. That life is eternal, starting now, and leads us to obedience. If we are obedient and follow the way Christ set forth, that life will be come full and meaningful.
